What Can you tell me about acidophilus? I heard it can be good for your stomach but what kind of symptoms does it treat? My husband has been having bouts of nausea for no apparent reason and also gas pains. Would this help him? Thank you.
Good bacteria?
There are more than 400 different species of bacteria in the human digestive tract. The most important of these are Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum. They are called probiotics, the opposite of antibiotics, because they aid in creating a healthy balance of microflora in the gut.
The primary use of probiotics is to restore the normal flora in the intestines that often occurs because of poor diet or the use of antibiotics. They do this first by competing with other organisms for nutrients. They secrete lactic acid and acetic acid that decrease the pH of the vagina and intestines, making the environment less favorable for the pathogenic bacteria to thrive. Antibiotics can alter the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, decreasing the numbers of healthy bacteria and causing diarrhea. Probiotics, taken during or after antibiotic therapy, can reduce or prevent this effect.
Probiotics produce certain antimicrobial compounds that kill some of the undesirable pathogens in the intestines, including yeasts, virii and bacteria. The associated decrease in the production of potentially cancer-causing toxins by the unfavorable microorganisms may help decrease the incidence of colon cancer. Probiotics also make certain vitamins needed by the body including folic acid, vitamin B6, niacin and vitamin K.
When large doses of probiotics are first taken, mild gastrointestinal symptoms may occur and flu-like symptoms may also occur within 3 days. Low counts of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, with an increase in less desirable bacteria in the intestines can cause gas, diarrhea, constipation, mucosal irritation and contribute to the development of allergies.
As the number of undesirable bacteria increases, the absorption of certain nutrients, including the B-vitamins, decreases, leading to the possibility of deficiencies. Symptoms of toxicity from taking probiotics are rare.
If supplementation is needed, start by taking at least 1-10 billion viable L. acidophilus or B. bifidum cells daily divided into 3 or 4 doses.
Take them on an empty stomach or at least 30-60 minutes before eating. Take 15-20 billion viable organisms daily to prevent diarrhea from antibiotic therapy.
Generally you should use products that contain a mixture of live organisms and have an expiration date on the label. Extreme heat or freezing can kill the live cells. Food sources of probiotics include yogurt and milk with live cultures.
Reply:Acidophilus works in the colon, not in the stomach. The bacteria is necessary to process food after it leaves the stomach and enters the colon.
Your husband can try chewing some anise seed - it helps with gas.
Make sure he is regular. At least two bowel movements a day. If that doesn't happen, eat more fiber and drink more water.
Bouts with nausea can be caused by a multitude of problems, so if this continues, he probably should see a doctor.
Reply:Lactobacilus acidophillus.....that is yogurt. Doesn't hurt to eat some and see :)
(background info......that bacteria also breaks down the lactose sugar, which is related to lactose intolerrance. So people who are lactose intollerrant can eat Yogurt just fine. If your husband is hispanic or asian or black or any mix of those, go ahead and stop cheese/milk for a while and see how that works.)
Good Luck
Reply:ginger root may help him as well.
Reply:Acidophilus is good bacteria which is in your stomach and small and large intestines normally. It can help your body digest food better and regulate your system. It is great for conditions like yeast infections and Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Symptoms of IBS can be gas, pressure, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and Mucus in the stool. A lot of the pain of gas is related to yeast and digestive problems that can be helped by good bacteria.
I do think that a probiotic of some kind would help him...yogurt or a suppliment. I do think though that these symptoms should be brought to the attention of a doctor in case more is going on. Probiotics may help even if he has something more serious. Better safe than sorry although likely the probiotic will be enough as long as it is strong enough!

Reply:Try Algo Clay, 100% natural. You can find it at www.clayforlife.com
It works great for any stomach problems and regulates the entire digestive system.
Reply:Most definatly it would help. just go to your local nature store and ask for it. It's also great to give children after they have had a round of antibiotics. Your husband may also want to try Marshmallow Pepsin (From Nature Sunshine Products) Great for an upset stomach
Reply:I use it to treat cold sores sometimes. If I can't find Lactinex, I will start taking acidophilus at the first tingle and sometimes the cold sore never finishes developing. Either that or it heals fast.
I have also taken it when I was on an antibiotic just as a preventative measure.
I have never taken it for stomach problems.

Reply:Adaptation. Look at pyrococcus, living at temperatures that would fry us...
Their membranes are adapted to not be destroyed by heat among other things. Biggest issue is DNA degradation by heat; since DNA cannot be adapted, they developed dna polymerases that replicate dna so fast it's not funny, thus dna damage is minimal.
Reply:as an appendix to the guy above me, the upper limit is actually predicted to be the temperature at which ATP breaksdown.
The answer to your question is to do with the rate of replication. Because there is only one cell, with e.coli, it divides in 20min....so in a day, there are literally millions of bacteria, each of which could be slightly different, adapted to live in other conditions.
Higher life forms are more evovled, but evolved to different enviromental conditions.

Can bacteria or insects live in an alkaline or alkaloid environment?
llinois groundwater scientists have found microbial communities thriving in the slag dumps of the Lake Calumet region of southeast Chicago where the water can reach extraordinary alkalinity of pH 12.8. That's comparable to caustic soda and floor strippers -- far beyond known naturally occurring alkaline environments.
The closest known relatives of some of the microbes are in South Africa, Greenland and the alkaline waters of Mono Lake, California.

Will bacteria or virus be able to survive in mars?
there was a unmanned moon mission a couple of years before the manned, I'm not sure of the timespan. I think someone else can build on it.but anyway the astronauts went to this vehicle and pulled the camera lens, took it back, swabbed it and found that some one contaminated the interior with a sneeze or something. They fed it and sure enouph bacteria sprang up ready to rock. Gives you the spooks don't it

Can bacteria have sexual reproduction, what is the process use for this?
Bacteria do divide and reproduce by asexual binary fission, but certain bacteria use a process called budding that involves a growth enlarging to cell size and then budding off. Keep in mind that some bacteria also exchange genetic information with a part of prokaryotic anatomy called the Pili (or "sex pili") which looks like a flagella, but i think it is shorter.
Can bacteria have sexual reproduction, what is the process use for this?
No, bacteria usually reproduce through asexual reproduction, by using the process of binary fission.
Reply:A little thing called mitosis. (Or does that only work with eukaryotes... I don't remember.).
Reply:'Sexual reproduction' in bacteria means the swapping of genes between two individuals. Some bacteria do this. For example, E. Coli that contain the 'F-plasmid' can form a structure called a pilus that connects with another E. Coli that lacks the F-plasmid, and genes are transfered. This is called conjugation, it is a type of sex, but it isn't very fun.

Dermal bacteria in urine take 2 weeks to raise pH to 9.2 by urea hydrolysis, why so long?
In our urine storage studies, it normally takes between 5 days and 3 week to see urea hydrolysis raise the pH to 9.2. Since we measure 10^6cfu/mL after only 2 days, why don't we see urea hydrolysis sooner? Are the bugs just eating organics without synthesizing urease? Our typical initial urea concentration is 7 g-ureaN/L and about 250 mg-TAN/L. I've also noted that we get urea hydrolysis quicker if the samples are subject to a cold temperature daily cycle. Our D.O. measures %26lt;0.1 mg/L after only one day of storage. Is urease synthesis a slow process? What is limiting the rate of urease production? Could it be nickel?
Dermal bacteria in urine take 2 weeks to raise pH to 9.2 by urea hydrolysis, why so long?
urease is a protein. Urease is found in bacteria, yeast and several higher plants.

Could bacteria survive on the moon?
Bacteria can survive on the moon. This was demonstrated by the Apollo 12 mission, which brought back parts of the Surveyor 3 probe. More details can be had below.
Bacterial spores are extremely durable and are difficult to kill. The ones on Surveyor (contaminated with Earth bacteria before launch) survived for 3 years in hard vacuum and enormous temperature swings.

Recently, however, we have seen that comets and asteriods do contain traces of bacteria, but no living bacteria only traces of its existence.

More importantly, the surface of the moon would appear unable to provide them with the nutrients that they require to survive, and the constant pounding of cosmic rays, not being stopped by a functional atmosphere, would make things very difficult. Specific bacteria are remarkably capable of living in hostile environments such as deep ocean vents, hot sulfur springs, etc. but the moon would seem to be a near impossible place for them to reside.

Can bacteria or a virus pass through breastmilk?
Say I had a stomach virus or a bacterial infection of some sort, could I pass it on?
Can bacteria or a virus pass through breastmilk?
Depends on the type of virus. HIV can be spread through breastmilk, so can hepatitis. The common cold is NOT spread that way, and stomach viruses are generally spread through fecal contact or contact with the vomit (gross, huh?), so no problem there either!
Breastfed babies RARELY get sick because mom is sick... because even if you pass the virus to the baby you are also passing antibodies through nursing, so the baby gets better even more quickly than you do (if he or she gets sick at all!)

Are bacteria that live in “typical” environments like on your hands, in foods, and in soil.?
Bacteria is everywhere. It's different types and some are good and some are bad. You even have bacteria that are good in your stomach. Some bacteris, like E COLI in your intestines, is okay when it's there but can make you sick if it gets on to your hands and you transfer it to other people. Some bacteria just infect plants! I think Bacteria is fascinating, but oh so deadly.
Are bacteria that live in “typical” environments like on your hands, in foods, and in soil.?
Yes that is why people are asked to wash their hands. Also bacteria lives on the food you eat that causes your breath to stink its pretty much everywhere our bodies can defend over simple food Bacteria
Reply:Bacteria live in many environments. Different species live in different places. For example a bacteria called Streptococcus epidermidis lives on skin and helps protect the skin from colonization by other harmful bacteria (disease-causing species)- so one has nice and healthy skin. Other bacteria such as Thermus aquaticus live in boiling springs -such as those of Yellowstone hot springs. Bacteria can be fussy, so not all species can live just anywhere. Those growing on the skin cannot grow in the hot springs for example and so on...
Reply:yes. there are bacteria on practically any part of of your body inside and out!!
The smell of soil is that of bacteria ( when you grow it on agar you can get that "earthy" smell...very wierd.
Just to point out that only 5% of bacteria are consdiered pathogenic...that leaves a massive 95% that are neutral or beneficial bactieria....the ones on our skin help to defend off bacteria and why I am personally against antibacterial body soaps as you need the bacteria there to help ward off the nasties....why kill off your defenders!!???
Also you really need to ask the question more clearly!!!!

Are bacteria and viruses "extra terrestrial"?..?
i mean, they are microscopic,,they can come back to life after being frozen, some are extremely heat resistant..viruses can encapsulate themself to keep from getting killed.. All the signs of alien lifeforms...Did they originally come in on asteroids from "out there"??. Are they responsible then for killing off all the dinosaurs and eventually maybe killing off all life forms again as they mutate ever more to being resistant to drugs??? One thing is for sure, other then the friendly guys in yogurt and some in our stomachs, they aren't here to make our lives better...
Are bacteria and viruses "extra terrestrial"?..?
No they are not ET. You will have to first figure out 'Where the world came from?' However I do know that they have some on the International Space Station, do not know what they are. That is why NASA have these 'white rooms' so that they do not take any of our Earth Bugs into Space and hopefully do not bring back any ET Bugs! Good Luck

...How long did it take to fill half the container?
The bacteria in a 4 liter container double every minute. After 60 mins, the container is full...?
If it doubles every minute, then 1 minute ago it would be half as full.
Answer:
59 minutes.
Reply:30 min
Reply:59 minutes
Reply:That is probably the easiest question in mathematics section.
You just said it doubles every minute, so that means that at 59 minutes it was half and doubled at 60th minute.
So it will be half full at 59 minutes!

Could bacteria survive on the moon?
Bacteria can survive on the moon. This was demonstrated by the Apollo 12 mission, which brought back parts of the Surveyor 3 probe. More details can be had below.
Bacterial spores are extremely durable and are difficult to kill. The ones on Surveyor (contaminated with Earth bacteria before launch) survived for 3 years in hard vacuum and enormous temperature swings.

Reply:Well, thats a somewhat complicated answer. To begin with bacteria require two things water and an atomosphere. And the moon has neither. Now, when I say atomosphere I mean that there needs to be a layer of gases that surround the moon; these gases are essential in building the materials needed for bacteria to thrive, survive, and replicate. Recently, however, we have seen that comets and asteriods do contain traces of bacteria, but no living bacteria only traces of its existence.

Reply:There are anaerobic bacteria which die as soon as they come in contact with air. Probably they may survive in moon.
Reply:From the limited perspective of gravity, etc., some bacteria would hardly be bothered. More importantly, the surface of the moon would appear unable to provide them with the nutrients that they require to survive, and the constant pounding of cosmic rays, not being stopped by a functional atmosphere, would make things very difficult. Specific bacteria are remarkably capable of living in hostile environments such as deep ocean vents, hot sulfur springs, etc. but the moon would seem to be a near impossible place for them to reside.

Which bacteria is more dangerous? coccus, bacillus or spirillum?
which one is the most dangerous, and which one is the least dangerous out of these three bacterias: coccus, bacillus, spirillum
Which bacteria is more dangerous? coccus, bacillus or spirillum?
what you have described is a shape for a group of bacteria instead of species capable of causing a disease, but lets see a few of each:
coccus- Streptococcus pyogenes caused rheumatic fever and most strep throat infections
Staphlococcus aureus- normally a harmless occupant of a persons skin is a major cause of infections in burn units sand other hospital based infections
Neiseria gonnorea- causes gonnorea
Bacillus
Bacillus anthrasis- causes anthrax a potentially fatal disease
Clostridium botulium- causes botulism in incorrectly canned food
Clostridium tetani- causes tetanus or lockjaw
Clostridium perfringes- causes gas gangrene
Spirillium
Most spirillium are harmless...with one notable exception:
Treponemia palladin- causes syphillus
The most dangerous as measured by number of diseases would easily be bacillus. The least would be spirillium.
Reply:look in your textbook
Reply:I dont think one is more dangerous than the other.
I thought it just depended on what kind of it.
Like strepococcus or something like that.
Reply:depends on what the bacteria is
anthrax are rod shaped bacillus
stapherius epidermus causes acne (more of a nuecince than dangerous)
stapheriuscoccus casues dangerous staph infections
i dunno very many sparilled shaped spirillum off ahnd - but undoubtily some r very dangerous
also, it depends on if its optistic bacterium - some skin (soemthing epiddermus) bacertia will only attack the unlucky hosts if the host is down - these usually are in hospitals where hosts (humans) immune systems are most vulnerable
hope i helped a bit with what i know from my high school advanced biology class

In bacteria, what is a psuedospamodulating leaflet?
It refrences with Legionella. (If you don't know, don't answer. This word is weird enough on its own.)
In bacteria, what is a psuedospamodulating leaflet?
Legionella pneumophila is a thin, pleomorphic, flagellated Gram-negative bacterium of the genus Legionella. L. pneumophila is the primary human pathogen in this group and is the causative agent of legionellosis or Legionnaires' disease.
While L. pneumophila is categorized as a Gram-negative organism, it stains poorly due to its unique lipopolysaccharide-content in the outer psuedospamodulating leaflet of the outer cell membrane. On the side-chains of the cell wall are carried the bases for the somatic antigen specificity of these organisms. The chemical composition of these side chains both with respect to components as well as arrangement of the different sugars determines the nature of the somatic or O-antigen determinants, which are important means of serologically classifying many Gram-negative bacteria. At least 35 different serovars of L. pneumophila have been described as well as several other species being subdivided into a number of serovars.

Can bacteria or insects live in an alkaline or alkaloid environment?
llinois groundwater scientists have found microbial communities thriving in the slag dumps of the Lake Calumet region of southeast Chicago where the water can reach extraordinary alkalinity of pH 12.8. That's comparable to caustic soda and floor strippers -- far beyond known naturally occurring alkaline environments.
The closest known relatives of some of the microbes are in South Africa, Greenland and the alkaline waters of Mono Lake, California.

Is bacteria classified by shape, oxygen requirement, reaction to stains and no present in a colony?
not sure what you're asking here, but yes to all of the above.
-shape can be round (cocci) or stick (bacillus)
-arrangement is also a factor, as they can be grouped as spheres, pairs or chains
-oxygen req. can be aerobic or anaerobic or a mixture/both depending on the surrounding environment
-the bacteria can be gram positive or gram negative (there are many other staining techniques as well)
-"no present in a colony" ??? do you mean whether they form a colony or stay apart as individuals??

Reply:Yes!! If you think in terms of a journey, the purpose of which is to
put the correct name to the bacteria then what you've said would
certainly put you on the right road but in most cases you would need to build on the info and go a bit further to actually establish the true
identity of the unknown bacteria. Starting with gram staining reaction, a positive purple would send you hunting North whereas a
negative red would send you hunting South. Under the microscope,
cocci would veer you off towards the West and rods towards the
East. So find gram pos cocci, look NW and zero-in for ID!!

Reply:Adaptation. Look at pyrococcus, living at temperatures that would fry us...
Their membranes are adapted to not be destroyed by heat among other things. Biggest issue is DNA degradation by heat; since DNA cannot be adapted, they developed dna polymerases that replicate dna so fast it's not funny, thus dna damage is minimal.
Reply:as an appendix to the guy above me, the upper limit is actually predicted to be the temperature at which ATP breaksdown.
The answer to your question is to do with the rate of replication. Because there is only one cell, with e.coli, it divides in 20min....so in a day, there are literally millions of bacteria, each of which could be slightly different, adapted to live in other conditions.
Higher life forms are more evovled, but evolved to different enviromental conditions.

Which bacteria are most frequently associated with gram negative sepsis?
Assuming that you don't just mean blood infections, here's a nice list:
Medically relevant Gram-negative bacilli include a multitude of species. Some of them primarily cause respiratory problems (Hemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), primarily urinary problems (Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Enterobacter cloacae, Serratia marcescens), and primarily gastrointestinal problems (Helicobacter pylori, Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhi).
Nosocomial gram negative bacteria include Acinetobacter baumanii, which cause bacteremia, secondary meningitis, and ventilator-associated pneumonia in intensive care units of hospital establishments.
Which bacteria are most frequently associated with gram negative sepsis?
Not a definite answer, but [1] below says from a small population: "The most common isolates were Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae." E. coli is gram negative while the other two are both gram positive [2][3][4], so I suspect that is the answer.
Ok, I just verified it. From [5]: "E. coli is by far the most common gram-negative bacterium causing sepsis. " So I'm pretty confident that is the answer.
(By the way, if you are looking for a list instead of a single type, [5] also has this: "Klebsiella, Proteus, Enterobacter, Serratia, and E. coli, are all common gram-negative bacteria causing septicemia.")
Reply:Pulmonary intravascular macrophages: their contribution to the mononuclear phagocyte system in 13 species and is most frequently associated with bacterial peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein and organ dysfunction. Now if I can only pronounce all that!
Reply:It depends on the type of septis. Usually you're looking at ecoli. It's pretty easy to get.
If it is sepis from an animal bite, however, it's like 90% pasteurella.
Got pasteurella from a neighbor's cat I tried to help her medicate. In 8 hours I went from sore to unable to move my arm. And this was after I cleaned the bite properly and everything. Not fun, but not a one of the biology students I have taught thinks animal bites are no big deal now.

Can Bacteria decompose metal rust?
Yes. There are several genera of microorganisms that are capable of reducing ferric iron to its ferrous state.
Most are extremeophiles - organisms that live in harsh conditions such as high heat or extreme pH. The method is through production of iron reductase enzymes.
If you're really interested, follow the link below and do a search for 'iron oxide'.

Differentiate bacteria and virus.?
Viruses are the most elementary of organisms consisting of only an RNA strand for chromosomal structure and a protien capsule enveloping. The nature and function of the virus lies in its RNA. In fact, viruses can be deactivated and preserved in the form of harmless crystals. They are actually dead in nature and function in this form. This is how viruses border on the living and nonliving forms. Bacteria are much more advanced organisms having a DNA (double stranded) with more complex physiology and function.
Differentiate bacteria and virus.?
A bacteria is a much larger organism than a virus. It takes an electron microscope to view a virus.
Reply:virus is entirely harmful .but bacteria is both useful and harmful.virus is much smaller than bacteria
Reply:Bacteria can live on their own , virus have to invade a host in order to replicate .
Virus is much smaller than bacteria. Infact Virus is so small, their complete structure can not be seen clearly even with the most advanced microscope ( electron ) . Bacteria is way bigger. Some virus like HIV virus are able to mutate quickly and unpredictably , and most virus are harmful . Bacteria can be harmful ( E.coli , Salmonella ), while others can be used in food industry ( to make dairy products like yogurt, cheese ..)
When a virus replicate , their " daughter " is often the same size as the parents. when bacteria replicate, their daughters are often smaller size . Bacteria replicating machenism is like cell division.
Virus has no cell wall, no cellular structure or cell membrane, it only has DNA or RNA ( coiled string of nucleic acide ) enclosed in a protein capsule. Bacteria are often unicellular organisms has cell wall , cell membrane , and internal structures like mitochondria , golgi apparatus...bacteria can live independently and replicate on their own .

Differentiate bacteria and virus.?
A bacteria is a much larger organism than a virus. It takes an electron microscope to view a virus.
Reply:virus is entirely harmful .but bacteria is both useful and harmful.virus is much smaller than bacteria
Reply:Bacteria can live on their own , virus have to invade a host in order to replicate .
Virus is much smaller than bacteria. Infact Virus is so small, their complete structure can not be seen clearly even with the most advanced microscope ( electron ) . Bacteria is way bigger. Some virus like HIV virus are able to mutate quickly and unpredictably , and most virus are harmful . Bacteria can be harmful ( E.coli , Salmonella ), while others can be used in food industry ( to make dairy products like yogurt, cheese ..)
When a virus replicate , their " daughter " is often the same size as the parents. when bacteria replicate, their daughters are often smaller size . Bacteria replicating machenism is like cell division.
Virus has no cell wall, no cellular structure or cell membrane, it only has DNA or RNA ( coiled string of nucleic acide ) enclosed in a protein capsule. Bacteria are often unicellular organisms has cell wall , cell membrane , and internal structures like mitochondria , golgi apparatus...bacteria can live independently and replicate on their own .

Which bacteria are most frequently associated with gram negative sepsis?
Assuming that you don't just mean blood infections, here's a nice list:
Medically relevant Gram-negative bacilli include a multitude of species. Some of them primarily cause respiratory problems (Hemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), primarily urinary problems (Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Enterobacter cloacae, Serratia marcescens), and primarily gastrointestinal problems (Helicobacter pylori, Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhi).
Nosocomial gram negative bacteria include Acinetobacter baumanii, which cause bacteremia, secondary meningitis, and ventilator-associated pneumonia in intensive care units of hospital establishments.
Which bacteria are most frequently associated with gram negative sepsis?
Not a definite answer, but [1] below says from a small population: "The most common isolates were Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae." E. coli is gram negative while the other two are both gram positive [2][3][4], so I suspect that is the answer.
Ok, I just verified it. From [5]: "E. coli is by far the most common gram-negative bacterium causing sepsis. " So I'm pretty confident that is the answer.
(By the way, if you are looking for a list instead of a single type, [5] also has this: "Klebsiella, Proteus, Enterobacter, Serratia, and E. coli, are all common gram-negative bacteria causing septicemia.")
Reply:Pulmonary intravascular macrophages: their contribution to the mononuclear phagocyte system in 13 species and is most frequently associated with bacterial peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein and organ dysfunction. Now if I can only pronounce all that!
Reply:It depends on the type of septis. Usually you're looking at ecoli. It's pretty easy to get.
If it is sepis from an animal bite, however, it's like 90% pasteurella.
Got pasteurella from a neighbor's cat I tried to help her medicate. In 8 hours I went from sore to unable to move my arm. And this was after I cleaned the bite properly and everything. Not fun, but not a one of the biology students I have taught thinks animal bites are no big deal now.

Good bacteria?
What Can you tell me about acidophilus? I heard it can be good for your stomach but what kind of symptoms does it treat? My husband has been having bouts of nausea for no apparent reason and also gas pains. Would this help him? Thank you.
Good bacteria?
There are more than 400 different species of bacteria in the human digestive tract. The most important of these are Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum. They are called probiotics, the opposite of antibiotics, because they aid in creating a healthy balance of microflora in the gut.
The primary use of probiotics is to restore the normal flora in the intestines that often occurs because of poor diet or the use of antibiotics. They do this first by competing with other organisms for nutrients. They secrete lactic acid and acetic acid that decrease the pH of the vagina and intestines, making the environment less favorable for the pathogenic bacteria to thrive. Antibiotics can alter the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, decreasing the numbers of healthy bacteria and causing diarrhea. Probiotics, taken during or after antibiotic therapy, can reduce or prevent this effect.
Probiotics produce certain antimicrobial compounds that kill some of the undesirable pathogens in the intestines, including yeasts, virii and bacteria. The associated decrease in the production of potentially cancer-causing toxins by the unfavorable microorganisms may help decrease the incidence of colon cancer. Probiotics also make certain vitamins needed by the body including folic acid, vitamin B6, niacin and vitamin K.
When large doses of probiotics are first taken, mild gastrointestinal symptoms may occur and flu-like symptoms may also occur within 3 days. Low counts of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, with an increase in less desirable bacteria in the intestines can cause gas, diarrhea, constipation, mucosal irritation and contribute to the development of allergies.
As the number of undesirable bacteria increases, the absorption of certain nutrients, including the B-vitamins, decreases, leading to the possibility of deficiencies. Symptoms of toxicity from taking probiotics are rare.
If supplementation is needed, start by taking at least 1-10 billion viable L. acidophilus or B. bifidum cells daily divided into 3 or 4 doses.
Take them on an empty stomach or at least 30-60 minutes before eating. Take 15-20 billion viable organisms daily to prevent diarrhea from antibiotic therapy.
Generally you should use products that contain a mixture of live organisms and have an expiration date on the label. Extreme heat or freezing can kill the live cells. Food sources of probiotics include yogurt and milk with live cultures.
Reply:Acidophilus works in the colon, not in the stomach. The bacteria is necessary to process food after it leaves the stomach and enters the colon.
Your husband can try chewing some anise seed - it helps with gas.
Make sure he is regular. At least two bowel movements a day. If that doesn't happen, eat more fiber and drink more water.
Bouts with nausea can be caused by a multitude of problems, so if this continues, he probably should see a doctor.
Reply:Lactobacilus acidophillus.....that is yogurt. Doesn't hurt to eat some and see :)
(background info......that bacteria also breaks down the lactose sugar, which is related to lactose intolerrance. So people who are lactose intollerrant can eat Yogurt just fine. If your husband is hispanic or asian or black or any mix of those, go ahead and stop cheese/milk for a while and see how that works.)
Good Luck
Reply:ginger root may help him as well.
Reply:Acidophilus is good bacteria which is in your stomach and small and large intestines normally. It can help your body digest food better and regulate your system. It is great for conditions like yeast infections and Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Symptoms of IBS can be gas, pressure, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and Mucus in the stool. A lot of the pain of gas is related to yeast and digestive problems that can be helped by good bacteria.
I do think that a probiotic of some kind would help him...yogurt or a suppliment. I do think though that these symptoms should be brought to the attention of a doctor in case more is going on. Probiotics may help even if he has something more serious. Better safe than sorry although likely the probiotic will be enough as long as it is strong enough!

Can bacteria mutate? how?
Yes, when there are several different types living together somewhere, one kind usually does better. And they have plasmids containing genertic materials that help them cope with their surroundings. Often they trade these with each other, sometimes even species to species rather than just within species.
They also mutate in response to chemicals and radiation. Maybe all die except for the one mutating bacterium, but then it grows. This happens when people abuse antibiotic treatments or do not complete them. A big example is NYC drug addicts with HIV and TB. It's hard enough to kill TB if they complete their treatment, but when they stop after only one or two weeks, the TB recovers from the antibiotics used and develops resistance to them, producing MDRTB (multiply drug resistant TB) or if it is already MDRTB, it gets even more resistance to the latest ones for MDRTB. Also a big problem in Russian prisons and drug abusers.
The exact details are very long to answer here, but you can find out more on this subject at:

What bacteria can make its own food?
Cyanobacteria, which are blue-green in color, are a form of bacteria which can make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. And because they are the only group of organisms that are able to reduce nitrogen and carbon in aerobic conditions, they are important in aerating the soil, which is necessary for the growth of plants. Another term for cyanobacteria is blue-green algae.

Do bacteria develop resistance on disinfectants like they do in antibiotics?how?
Generally speaking, no. They do NOT develop any type of resistance to disinfectants. Resistance to antibiotics has a specific genetic basis, and usually only requires one genetic change.
Disinfectants are much more broad in their attack on bacteria, such as denaturing the outer membrane, or inactivating all proteins, etc. A single, or even several, genetic changes are not enough to make a bacterium resistant, they would need wholesale evolutionary changes to their anatomy, and that takes millions of years.
So, no, they don't become resistant.

yes like with antibotics u can take them so much ur body builds resistance to them and if u keep getting the same bacteria there is a reason

Reply:Bacteria, often in combination with yeasts and molds, are used in the preparation of fermented foods such as cheese, pickles, soy sauce, sauerkraut, vinegar, wine, and yogurt.
"Friendly bacteria" is a term used to refer to those bacteria that offer some benefit to human hosts, such as Lactobacillus species, which convert milk protein to lactic acid in the gut. The presence of such bacterial colonies also inhibits the growth of potentially pathogenic bacteria (usually through competitive exclusion). Other bacteria that are helpful inside the body are many strains of E. coli, which are harmless in healthy individuals and provide Vitamin K.
Bacteria are both harmful and useful to the environment and animals, including humans. The role of bacteria in disease and infection is important. Some bacteria act as pathogens and cause tetanus, typhoid fever, pneumonia, syphilis, cholera, food-borne illness, leprosy, and tuberculosis(TB). Sepsis, a systemic infectious syndrome characterized by shock and massive vasodilation, or localized infection, can be caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, or many gram-negative bacteria. Some bacterial infections can spread throughout the host's body and become systemic.
Some bacteria have became drug resistant and the same is a posing a threat to old patients and babies especially staying in ICU in hospitals.

Reply:Absolutely, evolution is a continous process and there will always be new microorganism forming as well as dissolving. In the animal world this is evidenced by the appearance of new viruses and bacteria for example AIDS. In the plant world it is much more apparent due to the overwhelming amont of organism present and the the presence of factors that affect such an outcome.
